general information
The 2-day Kickoff meeting will be held at the Hellenic Center for Marine Research (HCMR), which is located in Gournes Pediados, 15 km east of the town of Heraklion, in the island of Crete, Greece. The serving airport is called "Nikos Kazantzakis" airport. The town of Heraklion is only 3 km from the airport and the suggested hotels.
transportation to/from HCMR
Bus loading at 08:15 and Departure at 08:30
Transfers from/to the suggested hotels (see photo below, red arrows) to/from the meeting site (HCMR) will be done with a bus, which will be waiting on the coastal road towards the sea from the hotels, near the roundabout with the fountain (see photo below, red block).
There will be HCMR staff scientists in each hotel to help you find the bus (Mr Rigos, Mr Grigorakis and Mrs Cotou). Please be at the reception of your hotel no later than 08:15 to follow them to the bus.
If you miss the bus, the best way to get to HCMR is by taxi (20 min from the hotel). There is a taxi plaza at the central bus station, which is 5 min walking from the hotels (ask the reception). The HCMR is located next to the Creta Aquarium, which is very well known. Call me (Dinos Mylonas) at +30 6944 229754 if you have any problems.
Transportation from the HCMR back to the hotels will be by bus, departing outside the HCMR at the end of the working day (18:15).

visits of the aqualabs (HCMR) and the creta aquarium
During the second day, there will be time available if some partners are interested in visiting the AQUALABS of the HCMR. No formal arrangements have been made, but those who are interested can let me know and we will arrange 2-3 tours during the day (09:00 Dr. Pantelis Katharios; 11:30 Dr. Giannis Papadakis and 15:00 Dr. Constantinos Mylonas), to allow people to see the facilities when they are not involved in a Session.
The Creta Aquarium is open between 09:30 and 17:00 and you can visit it at your own (8 euro per person), if you have available time.
